This painting shows a bird perched on a branch. Its chest is bright orange, and the rest of its body is dark brown. The background is a soft blue sky with yellow-green leaves around it. The bird looks like it’s singing, with its beak open. The loose brushstrokes make the colors blend slightly, giving it a dreamy feel. The artist used watercolor, which often looks light and translucent. Try looking up *watercolor, glazing* to see how this technique works.
